Telltale Games

Sterrance · 08/13/2008, 01:58 am

Sure the competition or as classic Strong Bad would say "competitión" wasn't that big, but still Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner is the most popular WiiWare title now! You guys beat out such names as Final Fantasy: My Life as a King and Pokemon Ranch. While some Strong Sads here will point out that those games have been out for a while, the fact is though that Super Mario Bros. 3 and the original Super Mario Bros. are still at the top of Virtual Console sales despite being there for quite some time.

And may I say thank you Telltale for bringing SB and soon Sam and Max to the Wii, besides the brutally awesome MadWorld, and the quirky de Blob, there isn't much looking forward to on the little system.

Dosen't suprise me, but how did you get that info? I don't think it lists it on the shop channel...

It says Popular Titles when you hit WiiWare.

Ben Again · 08/13/2008, 03:59 am

Oh, yeah... :S But dosen't it list them randomly? Or in order of newest to oldest?

Bryko614 · 08/13/2008, 04:12 am

It's not really stat driven. But it probably is most popular right now.

Emily · 08/13/2008, 08:51 pm

It is exciting to be #1! Now, I wonder how long we can stay there...

Review Mad · 08/14/2008, 12:42 am

How many points does sbcg4ap ep 1 cost? I want to know if it's more than 1000 because of it's place :S

Emily · 08/14/2008, 07:22 am

It costs 1000 Wii points.

someguyfromazoo · 08/14/2008, 07:38 am

Wow, I'm not really suprised.It was even better than Lostwinds!

Rather Dashing · 08/14/2008, 07:47 am

I am a bit surprised. I was sure they would set the price so that buying the whole season would cost closer to 3,000 points, so as not to penalize Wiiware purchasers for not having a bundle option.

But then, I'm not Telltale. It must have been a really hard decision to make, and 1,000 was the cost that the community seemed to tolerate. Also, I can't possibly know what they get from the game...for all we know, Nintendo's cut is big enough to make them need to go for that price to get the same profit?

Whatever the case, I wouldn't buy it at that price point.

KarmaRocketX · 08/14/2008, 05:54 pm

I'm not exactly shocked that it's the most popular. Like the topic starter said, there's no real competition for Homestar Ruiner.

Major League Eating? Beer Pong (or whatever they renamed it after the beer "controversy")? That Talk Show Thing? Piffile.

The only WiiWare title that I can see knocking a SBCG4AP episode out of first place anytime soon, is probably Mega Man 9. And trust me when I say that Mega Man 9 is going to be the hardest thing for Telltale to compete with, popularity-wise.

someguyfromazoo · 08/14/2008, 05:59 pm

Mega Man 9 will not be defeated in awesomeness. That is until "Man Darts" become an olympic event.

Mad World mini-game. *brick'd*

barrytrotter · 08/15/2008, 12:18 am

Im not surprised after playinjg the PC Demo of the game. SBCG4AP's only compertition on WiiWare is top quality games such as LostWinds and Final Fantasy.

Ooze33 · 08/15/2008, 06:42 am

Am I the only one who hated LostWinds? The only competition I think SBCG4AP will have is Mega Man 9.

someguyfromazoo · 08/15/2008, 06:58 am

The only thing I had to hate about Lostwinds was length...

nathew · 08/15/2008, 01:16 pm

i think the length is fine, just the price for a game that length is the problem, and the wait for the next one.
